Among activities in Mauritius, a visit to La Vanille Nature Park is a must. Home to the largest number of captive turtles (1000), 2000 Nile Crocodiles and one of the largest collection of butterflies and insects of about 23,000 species of 5 continents preserved in their insectarium and a rainforest area with lush vegetation, this place is a wonder.
A large population of monkeys, iguanas, bats, geckos, eels, frogs, chameleons, mongoose, donkeys, wild boars and many more inhabit the park.
